The famous Egyptian artist "Sohair El-Babli," the star of "Bakyza and Zaghloul," has passed away, leaving behind a legacy of works that history will remember. She began her artistic journey as a teenager by imitating actors before moving to the stage, where millions cheered for her.
**Beginning of Her Artistic Career**
The late artist Sohair El-Babli revealed in one of her statements that Professor Fathouh Nashaty encouraged her to pursue a professional career in art and helped her join the National Theater. She loved art from a young age, and her father supported her in nurturing her talent, while her mother opposed her working in the arts. On one occasion, her mother followed her to the theater and shouted at her, prompting Sohair to flee from her mother to the opera house, hiding in the guard's room.
El-Babli also explained that while performing in the play "On the Sidewalk," she suffered from a severe health crisis, which manifested as a high fever near 40 degrees Celsius, making it difficult for her to move. However, she refused to cancel the ticket reservations for the show and asked those around her to support her in reaching the stage. Once she entered, her condition improved, and she achieved great success, according to Al-Arabiya.net.
**Conflict with the Leader**
El-Babli faced another incident during the performance of "The School of Troublemakers," where she was in constant conflict with the artists Adel Emam and Said Saleh due to their frequent improvisation, which led "the leader" to withdraw in front of the audience, after which she withdrew twice as well.
**Soska and Her Passing**
The artist Sohair El-Babli, who was fondly nicknamed "Soska," passed away on Sunday at the age of 84 after her health deteriorated over the past few days due to a diabetic crisis and multiple complications.
**Her Most Famous Works**
The late artist excelled in both comedic and dramatic roles, possessing a substantial portfolio of artistic works in cinema and theater. Some of her most important works include the well-known comedy series "Bakyza and Zaghloul," which achieved tremendous success in the 1980s. She also had a rich theatrical, cinematic, and television repertoire, with notable works such as the play "Riya and Skene" with Shadia and "The School of Troublemakers." In film, she shone in "His Excellency the Ambassador" and "Moment of Weakness" alongside Salah Zulfikar, as well as in the television series "The Truth" and many other works.
